An excellent example of a fairly exotic and coveted lens. Glass is pristine, focus is smooth and snug, aperture clicks positively, etc. Shows only light signs of use, with one conspicuous scuff on the aperture ring (see photo). Overall, this lens appears to have been used very little. I draw that conclusion based on a few things. First, the mount seems almost new. Second, the finish doesn't yet have that burnishing that handling and slipping in and out of camera bags can do to Zuiko paint. Lastly, the focus is still quite snug (please note: as a macro, it's inherently somewhat more snug than the average Zuiko) and hasn't really begun to loosen up. The serial number is 1128XX, which may be revealing to some of you experts out there. Does have a few discrete flecks of internal dust, but you have to look for them. Comes with its original soft pouch, caps and instructions. If you're never used an f2 macro, it's a rare treat. The bright, easily-focused viewfinder image is worth the extra expense, for sure. Buyer pays actual shipping (@$8).
